Detailed Description

This boundary condition applies a heat flux condition to temperature on an external wall. Heat flux can be specified in the following ways:

- fixed power: supply Q

  • fixed heat flux: supply q
  • fixed heat transfer coefficient: supply h and Ta

where:

$ Q $ = Power [W]
$ q $ = Heat flux [W/m^2]
$ h $ = Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
$ Ta $ = Ambient temperature [K]

If more than one parameter is given then the heat fluxes are summed.

If a heat transfer coefficient is given optional thin thermal layer resistances can be specified through thicknessLayers and kappaLayers entries.

The thermal conductivity kappa can either be retrieved from various possible sources, as detailed in the class temperatureCoupledBase.

The ambient temperature Ta is specified as a Foam::Function1 of time but uniform is space.

Usage
Property Description Required Default value
Q Power [W] no 0
q Heat flux [W/m^2] no 0
h Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] no 0
Ta Ambient temperature [K] if h is given
thicknessLayers Layer thicknesses [m] no
kappaLayers Layer thermal conductivities [W/m/K] no
relaxation Relaxation for the wall temperature no 1
emissivity Surface emissivity for radiative flux to ambient no 0
qr Name of the radiative field no none
qrRelaxation Relaxation factor for radiative field no 1

Example of the boundary condition specification:

    <patchName>
    {
        type            externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;

        Ta              constant 300.0;
        h               uniform 10.0;
        thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4);
        kappaLayers     (1 2 3 4);

        value           $internalField;
    }
